"I'm sorry, that girl didn't embarrass you, did she?" asked Eleanor as she left, Sicily smiled at the two of them.

"No, no, she was very polite to us, but her majesty seemed to be quite scolding. Haruka couldn't help but joke.

"That's it, I didn't expect even such a dull Haruka to find out about her dissatisfaction, it seems that she is really angry this time. Sicily said sloppily as she raised the stone table and chair from the ground and motioned for Haruka and Iska to take a seat.

"Being able to express your emotions so bluntly, it seems that your relationship with this girl is not ordinarily intimate. Iskar couldn't help but say.

"Yes, she's more like a sister than my subordinate. Sicily clapped her hands, and two maids came to their table with a cart containing a tea set, and served the delicate tea set to the lady. "Try my black tea, I'm quite proud. ”

"Thank you. Seeing that the maids skillfully made black tea for them, Haruka politely expressed her gratitude. "I'm a little curious, what did you do to make that girl so angry, is it because of our relationship?"

"I'm sorry to misunderstand you, but she's not hostile to you, but she's just unhappy that I'm not willing to meet you in the main hall, isn't it? Xixili smiled bitterly and shook her head, "However, I was able to become the Demon King smoothly, and I managed the current East Country in an orderly manner thanks to that child." ”

"It's really enviable to have such a caring subordinate by your side and give you advice. Haruka replied.

"Didn't Angelia assist you like this before... Xixili unconsciously mentioned this name, and could feel that Haruka's face was obviously a little wavering. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her. ”

"You don't have to apologize, I'm no longer the weak self I used to be, and those who have passed away will only make my heart stronger......"

"Haruka, you... Iskar seemed to want to say something, but swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.

"Really? That's a lot more reliable. Xicili slowly retracted the smile on her face, "But in a strong heart, there will also be a moment of collapse, every injury will make you stronger, and it will also leave indelible scars in your heart, so don't force yourself too much." ”

"Your advice, I will remember. Haruka nodded silently.

"So let's talk about it first, let's talk about the next policy. The tone of Sicili's speech was completely different from before, and it was completely a formal negotiation attitude.

"Let me start by clarifying our position. Iska said confrontingly, "As for the issue of joining forces, we have discussed it carefully, and it is true that with our current strength, there is almost no chance of winning against Hibbert, and if we can join forces with you, of course, it is also what we want." ”

"Very well, I knew you would accept my offer. ”

"But I want to know what is the benefit of forming an alliance with us for you? Compared to the national strength of the East Country, the individual combat power of a few of us is almost negligible to you, right?"

"A wise question. Sicily slowly stood up from her chair, raising her hand and conjuring a map of the Demon Realm in the air. "According to the latest information obtained by my intelligence network, the country of the west after the loss of Faldi is actually under the control of Hibbert, although there are not many remnants of the army, but the private army owned by the lords of each city is also a force that cannot be underestimated, plus the original demon king army of the country of the south and the large number of puppets you saw before, the current strength in the hands of Hibbert has formed an absolute advantage over me. ”

"So as long as you can use the combat power, do you have to give priority to it?" Iskar asked rhetorically.

"That's right, this is a war, if you can have more strength, you will naturally have more hope of victory, and Haruka is not alone, although he lost Angelia, but he still has a large number of his own army in the northern country, isn't it?"

"Are you talking about the orc legions and the knights of the ghost clan... Haruka understood what Xixili meant.

"With the army of the northern country, plus my army, at least the gap in numbers can be erased a lot. ”

"Then I'll have to go back to the northern country once, find Bellia and them, and then... ”

"There's no need for this, didn't that ghost girl give you a horn whistle. Just blow that, and even if you're at the ends of the earth, that girl will find you. ”

"Is it so powerful... Haruka carefully pulled out the horn whistle that Belia had left for him from her bosom.

"It's an important token that the ghost girl used to promise to give for life, and the implication represents the love that will never be separated, so it's just like the literal meaning. ”

“。。。。。。 Hearing Sicili's explanation, Haruka couldn't help but feel a little weak, and he could feel that Iska on the side was quietly releasing a murderous aura.

"Who is that girl named Belea?" Iskar gently pressed her hand on Haruka's shoulder......
